Because NORMALLY! (im not saying every blonde does this) but they act ditzy. Im not saying its just blondes that do that because I have met a ton of stupid red heads, brunettes and black haired people. Some people actually enjoy being known as the dumb blonde. Why? I have no idea. But I for one cannot stand being around those girls. It just sucks that my school is full of them......
